A few weeks ago I managed to install the kernel-images for linux 2.6, and at the same time removed devfsd (reading that it had been depreciated with 2.6)
Even so, something (hotplug?) was overwriting the entries in /dev with valid links. For instance I had manually made device nodes for hda, hda1 ... hda9 and then discovered that hda and the hda(n) entries that matched the partitions actaly on the disk were being changed to symlinks. However, I have just reinstalled everything from scratch again - this time avoiding even installing devfsd - but installing a kernel-image-2.6.0 -1 -k7 nevertheless. hotplug is also installed and /sys is also mounted. But now I am not getting any devices being built automatically in /dev. I saw some talk about a "udev" package being put together in the development mailing list, but I don't see a package in either unstable or experimental. SO - what was creating these links on my first run through with 2.6, and what have I failed to install this time to get the same effect -- Alan Chandler [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
